Fünfzig Jahre in der Kirche Roms

Charles Chiniquy (1886) – Lebensbericht eines ehemaligen Priesters, englischer Volltext

Ein historisches Buch, das Br. Branham erwähnt – es gehört selbst nicht zur Botschaft. Br. Branham erwähnt „Father Chiniquy“ und empfiehlt, seine Bücher zu lesen. Chiniquy war katholischer Priester in Kanada und den USA, wurde Protestant und kannte Abraham Lincoln.

Der Text ist der englische Volltext in 67 Kapiteln. Er ist gemeinfrei, spricht aber die schroffe Sprache seiner Zeit und ist eine Streitschrift gegen die römische Kirche – bitte mit Augenmaß lesen.

Deutsche Fassung: Die alte deutsche Bearbeitung von F. Schlachter († 1911) ist nur als Werbeblatt im Material vorhanden; heutige Verlagsausgaben können neu bearbeitet und damit geschützt sein. Deshalb hier nur das englische Original.
